Music to Die for!
The Mummies Are Here... and They ROCK! 
First there was the Monster Mash... Now there's a Mummy Dance!
CHARACULA's music is is a blend of metal, dance and the old drive-in movie theater. Its monster driven rock and synth sound was developed by two students at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. It has since evolved into a sophisticated dance-metal groove, though the "monster, chick and metal" theme has always been at the heart of CHARACULA!
A lot of talent went into making this track. The line up on the Mummy Dance is:
Vocals - Characula
Guitars - Sean Lacefield, Bernie Godwin
Guitars - Sean Lacefield, Bernie Godwin
Bass - Brad Cummings
Drums - Sean Lacefield
Oud - Alexi Rabay
Synths - Jeff McCullough
Producer - Sean Lacefield/C. Anaclerio
Engineer - Marc Greene at the Greene Room
Writers - Characula/Steve Almos
CHARACULA is currently working on her debut album. Some of the tracks have to do with monsters and some with love (and some with both!), but all have that twisted, classic B-movie flavor, catchy melodies, and over-the-top metal music!
I hope you enjoy it!

Mummy Dance Lyrics
From the Kingdom of Nye
From the Kingdom of Nye
To the Valley of Kings
Osiris leads the dead in the foxtrot and the swing
In a tomb, in a vault, on a concrete slab
The mummies have awoken and they're starting up a fad
Cleopatra's in the house and she's looking mighty fine
King Tut's gettin' down and he's chilling out on wine
Cruising the scene along the Nile
Life by the pyramids is gettin' hella wild!
Get down with the mummies and do the cha cha
Get down with the mummies like Nephren-Ka
Get down with the mummies and shake your ba ka
There's a sweet old pharaoh
He won't leave me alone
He phones me night and day from the catacombs
Waking the dead from the ancient past
Everybody says our love won't last
Well raptors screamed and thunder struck
As we rendezvoused off to our time-soaked hut
And there by the Nile, the gods conspired
To sing us the song that fuels our desire
Get down with the mummies and do the cha cha
Get down with the mummies, let's dance for Ra
Get down with the mummies and shake your ba ka
From Cairo to Luxor, we're trippin' right into the sun
Mummies dancing in the streets
DJs making all the beats
Sacred temples come alive
As our two worlds collide
Get down with the mummies and do the cha cha
Get down with the mummies, it's not that macabre
Get down with the mummies and shake your ba ka
From Cairo to Luxor to Aswan, let's shake it, right into the sun
The desire of a woman... mixed with the blood of a she-monster... it's CHARACULA! In late 2012, a virtually unknown CHARACULA scored airplay at radio stations across the country with her first release, The Mummy Dance. CHARACULA again puts her own horrifyingly sensual spin on her second release, Ready for Love. Enjoy! ...And beware!! A Dito Godwin Production 2013
